I do have a few questions. How well does the face recognition work? From what I read it sounded too good to be true. How fast is then contrast detect autofocus compared to the phase detect autofocus? Do you any sample images of low light high iso shots?

a77 has phase detect AF. It is extremely fast.

Yet most other sites disagree. Let's face it. Slt is a crap tech that'll never go anywhere

What sites is that? Care to post it here? You're just a big talk with no proof. Check the imagingresource.com and DXoMark test result. a77 destroy the very best APS-C camera of Canon. The 7D. See? I got three already to prove my claim. You got zero lol
 
I just don't see how the tech can go anywhere or why it's em necessary. Nothing wrong with normal slr technology

The veiwfinder, the noise, very slow writting to card, after shooting 12 shots it took 13 seconds to write to the card these ar the problem

Viewfinder - the advantage outweight the disadvantge of it over the OVF. whats the problem?
Writing to card- Get a fast card then
12 shots will take 13 seconds to write- Completely wrong
Noise- a77 noise level is as good as the Canon 7D. Are you saying all the canon suck?

How about the advantages?
face register- camera will remember the face of your subject and focus on them right away even in a crowded area
Dual Control Wheel- much easier to control the settings when doing manual mode
Live view- Sony LV is unmatch
Weather Sealed- Shoot in the rain
Extremely fast video autofocus
Extremely fast AF
In-body IS- Never to worry about not having IS lens
Panorama
Multi Frame Noise Reduction
Better Image quality than "all" Aps-c of Canon


Have you used one ? it had a fast card fitted,

The problem is that less light reaches the primary imaging sensor.

Exactly. In my opinion that's a huge negative
 
Oh. I misread your post. I thought you were asking what was wrong with a pellicle slr.

That's the other thing, Sony makes this out to be some kind of crazy new technology. It's a beamsplitter, a semi-silvered mirror. It's nothing "high tech" it's just a Pellicle SLR.
 
Oh and the lens argument is a joke as for as the hobby is concerned too. Just stop talking about it. ~100 lenses is more than 90% of the people on this forum will ever need.

Yeah, it's not like people have collections of lenses for one brand or anything ridiculous like that. Just throw all those thousands of dollars worth investments just to get a cheaply made brand camera.

Context perhaps? I never said anything about switching brands.

You said you don't see why anybody would buy a Canon over a Sony of the same price range when the Sony is presumably better. I should have included your original post as well.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about someone with an extensive collection of glass. Seems like it would be common sense.
 
Can we just ban all the brandname elitists? Discussions might god forbid, be constructive without them.
 
Exactly. I never understood this mentality. It's just silly. If Canon made a short film to flange full frame mirrorless at an affordable rate before Sony does, I'd ditch Sony. If Sony comes out with a full frame camera similar to the NEX, I'd get it.

I got an a350 because it the time it was the only thing with an articulating LCD, in-camera IS, and was at the right price. I'm not about to forego features that are important to me at any given time just for the sake of brand loyalty. I owe the CEO's of the camera companies absolutely nothing.
